Baker shot, but Wilton was equal to the occasion, and oleared tiioely. The combination of the A team then resulted in the ball being carried up the field by some good passing among the forwards. McLaren saved neatly, but a bard drive into the circle by Parton enabled Williams to hit the ball between the posts. From this until the end of the game, some hard hitting waß indulged in by the backs on both sides, but owing to erratio Bhooting on the part of the A forwards no further saore was registered, and the game ended— Kia Kaha A 3 Kia Kaha B 0 I Mr S.

The Glengarry and Garry Owen Ladies' Clubs played a match at Lansdowne yesterday afternoon. Although the Garry Owen team consisted mostly of players new to the gatoe, they showed what oon- , stent practice will do in the way of improving players. The play was fast throughout, each side attacking in tarn. The Glengarry team, bow* ever, made the* play open, and succeeded on several occasions in getting into their opponents' striking circle, but goal-shooting is undoubtedly their great weakness. in the first spell no score was registered, but shortly after the commencement of the second half, Miss J. McHattie scored a nice goal for Glengarry. Ibis proved to be the only soore of the match, and victory reste 1 with the Glengarry team by one goal to nil. For the winners Mlsess J. McHattie, McGregor and Messenger were the best of the forwards, while Misses Hood, McLean and Early played well in the tacks. Misses Stempa, Brogan, Collier and Bourlgan played well for the Garry Owens. Mr J. B. Hue was referee. HUIA v. PAKA KOURA. The Huia and Paka Koura teams met at Lansdowne yesterday.
